BitRage CR45-A-53 DS3 Radio and IU45-E AC with Ethernet Bridge
The BitRage CR45-A is a real screamer when it comes to performance, but you do give up a little in terms of features and elegant design. In essence, the product is designed as a DS-3 radio, but a companion box provides protocol translation between DS-3 and Ethernet. Its full-duplex orientation was obvious when we looked at the two ports on the radio, labeled "data in" and "data out."
BitRage offered the most convenient antenna-alignment tool in the form of LEDs on the modem that clearly display the receive-signal strength. One unit transmits at 5.3 GHz and the other at 5.7 GHz. There are no channels to configure, encryption keys to enter or IDs to input. Once you figure out how to plug it in and align the antennas, you are ready to start bridging traffic.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
